Congrats to all the Soul Warriors!

Due to popular demand, the Rare gifts for winners of the Soul War will continue. The current texture set will remain in place for April. For more details on the gifts, see our original posting here.

For the Soul War, we’re adding a bonus to those who win – a Soul War Rare texture themed to the Achievement category you’ve triumphed in!

For each of the 36 Achievement categories, the winner will receive two textures, one for Tanks and one for Iron Prisms. These textures will be awarded on the 1st of the following month, and will show up in the “Texture” menu on the containers.

In addition, we’re giving away Rares to the top 10 overall Individuals, top 10 Clans (given to the clan leaders), and the top MVP within those clans.

Just to be clear – as with our past Rares linked to achievements, any ties will be broken with a coin toss to see who will get the Rare texture for that category.

Good luck Soul Warriors!

We’re happy to announce a mesh update to the Hemlock!

We’re also including a free gift with any 4 Pack during February. The purchaser will receive two Rare textures, one for Tanks and one for Iron Prisms. After you’ve rezzed your crate, the textures will automatically show up in your Tank or Iron Prism texturing menu (the “Texture” button, under “PotionCabinet”). You will only receive one set per purchase, so apply and use them wisely!

Also, at the end of the month we’re giving a Rare “Crown” tank texture to:

• Top 5 Individuals* in February’s Soul War “Abyss Flood”
• Top 5 Clans* with most “Abyss Flood” for February (given to Clan Leaders)

The top achievers can be tracked on the appropriate page in the Achievements Guide. Good luck and happy new year!

*(If there is a multi-way tie for any of the contests, still only 5 winners will be chosen. Ties will be broken by random number / dice rolls until 5 winners are picked).

UPDATE: We have our winners for the contest!

Top 5 Individuals in “Abyss Flood”:

• Katelyn Dominquez  (268)
• VelvetBlossom (124)
• Fuinha Fiul (103)
• master Nowles (94)
• TinaDiane Dubrovna (67)

Congrats to all the winners! The Crown texture will be sent out today.

A Dark Wizard has escaped prison, and the daughter of a witch detective has run off to try and catch him. You’ve been recruited as a Bounty Hunter to try and track them down. If you can find all the clues and solve the mystery, you will be richly rewarded.

“The Wayward Witch” Hunt is now running on the Liquid West RP area (below the Bloodlines West stores). The rules are simple:

• Main Quest: Collect 12 Memory Vials containing clues. Wear and click a bottle to get the next clue. A trophy awaits you at the end!
• Side Quest: Collect 10 Enchanted Coins containing clues. Wear and click the coin to get the next clue. A Side Quest trophy awaits you at the end!

Also, for the next month, we will have a Rare texture available to those who complete the Hunt. A Rare Texture token will be vended when you get your trophy. To claim your Rare Texture:

• Put the token in a folder with your *exact* avatar name (not display name) on it
• Pass the folder to LiquidDesigns Resident, and you’ll have the “Wizard Detective” Rare Texture delivered asap, usually within 24 hours or less.

We’ll also do a random drawing at the end of the Hunt – 10 lucky winners (drawn from those who completed the Hunt) will receive the Crown version of that texture.

This hunt is fantasy / wizarding themed, and homages several beloved books and movies in that genre, so you’ll probably notice some familiar details! We do ask that if possible, please don’t fly, bother other hunters, or give away clues.

Good luck and happy hunting!

When: Hunt Ongoing, but Rare Prizes only Jan 20th – Feb 20th

Thanks to everyone who made this Hunt a success, and see you on the next one!

It’s the 25th of November, and that means it’s time to announce the winners of the Dead Man’s Diary grand prize Rare, the Pirate Gold Skull texture. We want to thank the hundreds of people who made the hunt a success! We appreciated your participation and feedback in this little adventure.

Randomly chosen from the people who completed the hunt, we’ve got 10 grand prize winners: Aphrodite Starr, Twistedsatan, Luna Thereian, Tamurello Voight, Kryptic Corleone, kokytos, Farruko Aiten, kototori, Neiang Raynier, & mystcone. Congrats winners! You should receive your Grand Prize Rare today in your tank texture inventories.

While the grand prize Pirate GoldSkull will no longer be up for grabs, we have a week before the next hunt starts, so we’ve decided to extend the Dead Man’s Diary a week and keep the Pirate Map rare available. If you know someone who might want to nab it before next Friday, let them know!

Also, we wanted to give everyone a heads up that we’re taking a short break from our Friday events, partly due to the holiday here in the states but also to have time to get the next hunt up and running! We’ll be back soon with a new event and an announcement.

UPDATE 12/2/16

We’ve delivered all the Pirate Goldskulls, as well as the VialCrown textures from the November contest. If you haven’t received your prize, notecard LiquidDesigns Resident and they’ll sort it out!

Also, there is no event again this Friday (Dec 2nd). We will be back in action Friday the 9th, thanks for your patience!

A man has been murdered! It’s up to you to follow the trail and bear witness to his tale of woe. If you can find all the clues you will be richly rewarded.

The “Dead Man’s Diary” Hunt is running on the Liquid East RP area (below the Bloodlines East stores) for the next few weeks. The rules are simple:

• Collect 11 Message Bottles containing clues. Wear and click a bottle to get the next clue.
• Once completed, put all the Bottles in a folder with your *exact* avatar name (not display name) on it
• Pass the folder to LiquidDesigns Resident, and you’ll have the “Pirate Map” Rare Texture delivered asap, usually within 24 hours or less.

We’re also doing a random drawing at the end of the Hunt – 10 lucky winners (drawn from those who completed the Hunt) will receive the “Pirate Goldskull” Rare texture.

One last thing – we’ve turned off flying to encourage everyone to explore. If you fly, we won’t punish you, but Mars Bracken will think you’re pretty lame.

Good luck and happy hunting!

When: Nov 13th – Nov 25th

Where: Liquid East RP Area

UPDATE 12.6.16

We’ve delivered all the Limited Textures and the Grand Prizes, but the hunt will stay on the East sim (with a nice mesh trophy at the end) and we’ve updated it with our new Hunt HUD to help keep track of clues and progress. Thanks everyone for making this first Hunt a success!
